The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro engine specs and pictures leak early

By Miles Branman May 15, 2015

Even with the scheduled reveal just a day away, leaked photos and images are always exciting when it comes to highly anticipated vehicles like the 2016 Camaro.

CNBC reported on the redesigned muscle car, featuring a few images of the car’s new face and body. Not only did the images leak, but its three-engine range was revealed as well.

Starting with the aesthetics. While teasers seemed to show aggressive styling for the 2016 Camaro, in reality, the finished product looks rather tame. The new face resembles certain styling elements from the new Malibu, as well as the vehicle shown in the most recent “Transformers” movie. As for the rear end, besides some additional character lines, the same toned-down looks continue.

Perhaps more interesting than the re-sculpted body are the new powertrains on hand.

The base-spec Camaro will now come equipped with a 2.0 liter four-cylinder developing 270 horsepower and 290 pound-feet of torque. The mid-range version will feature a newly-developed 3.6 liter V6 making 330 hp and 275 pound-feet of torque. It’s presumed this engine is the same as the upcoming CT6’s base powertrain.

At the top of the range, the Camaro SS will come with a 6.2 liter LT1 V8 making 440 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque. Gone is the LS motor, and in its place slots the Stingray’s LT powerplant with 14 extra horses over the current Camaro.

Noteably, GM has decided to forego Ford’s tactic of putting the turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the mid-range spec and has added it as the entry-level option. The allure of muscle car looks with a frugal motor could prove to sell the base car in greater numbers.

Other hardware upgrades will include optional magnetic ride control, a dual-mode exhaust system in the SS, and a lighter body for all versions of the Camaro.

Early Android 13 leak shows handy language and notification control tools

Android 13 concept.

Android 13 is still about nine months away, but development appears to be in full swing at Google and an early glimpse at the next-gen smartphone OS has already popped up online. The folks over at XDA-Developers have gotten their hands on screenshots depicting a very early build of Android 13 from an unspecified source with access to it. Before we go into details, it is worth mentioning here that some of these features might get pushed, or never make it out of the test phase.
App language
First in line is an Android 13 feature called App Language. As the name makes it abundantly clear, it will allow users to specify the UI language on a per-app basis. The feature has been in development under the codename ‘Panlingual’ and will be accessible on this path: Settings > System > Languages & input > App Languages. Once an app has been selected, users will be taken to its App Language page where they can make the necessary linguistic adjustment.
Notification control tool
Next in line is a notification control tool that will help control the barrage of unnecessary notifications. With Android 13, Google appears to be testing a new “POST_NOTIFICATIONS” protocol that will make notifications an opt-in feature. What that means is just as with permissions for accessing camera and location, users will be able to specify if an app can send notifications.
